5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of fantasy., June 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Magic: The Gathering Distant Planes (Mass Market Paperback)

Like the anthology before it, 'Tapestries', this one again offers a buffet of wonderful fantasy stories. One need not even know what Magic The Gathering is to appreciate the collective works within. The stories are all wildy imaginative, and transport the reader into a multi-verse where magic is as real as the ground beneath your feet.

A personal favorite of mine is "Chef's Surprise", which explains the flavor text on the granite gargoyle card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first MTG anthology., August 22, 2006

By	C. T. Hunter "chips_books" (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The stories in this collection offer an excellent glimpse into the world of Magic the Gathering. Each story takes place in unique and detailed lands with fun and original plot lines. When compared to the previous MTG anthology (Tapestries), this book seems darker and more mature, with a greater level of depth to the storylines and characters. I enjoyed it much more, and look forward to reading the other anthologies.

As with most of the MTG books, prior knowledge about the game is not necessary to enjoy and understand the book.
